I was hoping we'd take a chance on Wennberg.
Where's @dudacek's list of reasons Terry is selling? Can we add running the team barely above the cap floor?

It's always funny watching the talking heads.
They're always so critical of Buffalo yet when the Sabres have a good player they think he should leave.
There's very little optimism regarding the Buffalo Sabres
We have been historically bad for over a decade now, and if that wasn't bad enough, we're blowing up the fantastically failed rebuild to tank again. We're lucky they still keep us in the league.

I'd have thought it would be hard to achieve a worst goaltending situation than we had last year but Adams is about to accomplish the near-impossible.

Anderson linked to Canes. I don't see Ullmark re-signing with us
Things are about to get very interesting goalie-wise. What are Chad Johnson and Jhonas up to these days?

No Dalton Smith? Who will we call up when Tampa injures half the team again?
Also, who the hell are our goalies gonna be? I'm starting to fear they've got UPL penciled in for one of them.

Goddamnit, Terry. If you were a better owner, we wouldn't be going through this.

We got fleeced on ROR.
We got fleeced on Bogosian.
We got fleeced on Hall.
We are taking a garbage dump and high picks for Sam?
Are they deliberately ruining this market?
Absolutely mind-boggling.
I want KA nowhere near Eichel.
Tanking again🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Bogosian refused to report when he was demoted and was released. He wasn't worth anything.

LOL it was the same rending of garments we saw on display over Borgen.
Marginal players for Buffalo are nothing players elsewhere around the league.
Yep, fits Risto's description too.

We're getting less for all 3 than the vast majority of posters think. We overvalue our chronically last place players.

This discussion has Tim Kennedy written all over it.
More apt and recent comparison would be Brayden McNabb. Young defenseman we developed and gave up for nothing. He's had a nice career.

This could be the case. If it's not it's not like we lost Victor Hedman although another week or two some would have elevated him to that level.
Nice strawman.

Lol yes, losing Will "14 NHL Games" Borgen is really throwing that mantra out the window.
I get it, it is fashionable to bitch about everything the Sabres do but good lord. We lost our 6th defender... who cares. These team just finished last again in the rankings, you all really think Will Borgen leaving in an expansion draft is going to sick us? Give me a break.
Well we've got 8 years of results with Risto in the lineup. Let's keep doing the same thing. It's going well.

I NEED ONE ***** PLAYER ON THIS ***** ROSTER THAT HITS AND FIGHTS. THATS ALL I’VE EVER WANTED. WE FINALLY HAD A GUY AND WE JUST LET HIM WALK. NOW I GET TO WAIT ANOTHER 20 YEARS TO WATCH A GUY PLAY 15 GAMES AND GET MY HOPES UP ONLY TO LOST HIM TO QUEBEC’S EXPANSION TEAM.
We'll regret this. Can't wait until we get a 3rd and middling prospect for Risto now.

I guess we gossiped about this enough for it to be true.
Or the Pegulas sucked so much and killed this franchise so thoroughly and/or they finally realized they're in over their heads.

This.
If the Pegulas were to sell especially if they needed money for a new stadium, I could see a see a scenario where they sell 50 percent of the team and give that person control of day to day operations of the team.
Too perfect to happen.

Columbus
10 picks in and we've already got 5 defensemen... Lots of defensemen later in the alphabet. I count 3 that should be their team's picks. Columbus should be Dean Kukan RHD 1 year / $1.65M then UFA. Then, look to trade him if necessary. That's the sane pick.
However, in an alternate reality... Pu, Stenlund, Sherwood, meh. Grigorenko is KHL-bound. Nah, give me a guy who'll pass through waivers and be a feisty 20-game call up veteran when injuries hit, then pass right back through waivers. Your one-year "Seattle-captain" of the AHL Charlotte Checkers (shared with Florida). He's got the experience to keep a partial team together. Plus, the fans love him when he mixes it up with someone twice his size. F Nathan Gerbe. 1 x $750k.
Everyone here thinks Columbus is losing Domi. But Gerbe has become a fun pest.

And the Seals were comparable in quality to an expansion team & the Gunds did everything possible to be done wrong while on their 2 year stint in Cleveland.
Remember, people don't kill hockey markets, Gunds kill hockey markets.
Have we had a decade of Gunds? Thankfully this is a proud, strong hockey market, but I think they've tried their best to kill it through sheer prolonged incompetence.

Are there teams that only have goalie protection issues?
Columbus? Montreal? Florida? Carolina? Rangers? Gotta be someone who'd take a draft pick over nothing.

They're gonna waste this opportunity, aren't they?

Trade Boston's 2nd for Dunn, protect him, let Seattle choose between Risto, Borgen, Z, and Ullmark

If they protect Risto for someone, the trade begins with: Risto and Borgen for...

Probably what Lanny said. If so, meh, and I would have just exposed Risto.

I like how he modified the BS from his sisters design, to just S.
Brilliant.
He saw a Syracuse U hat and said "hey, I can work with that."

You know NH isn’t the state bordering NY though, right?
Yes sir. The thing in the hat just looks like the child of those two states to me. It was a slightly long distance relationship.
